Catholic Archbishop Edward Weisenburger of Detroit attended the grand opening of the new mosque and headquarters of the Islamic Institute of America (IIOA) in Dearborn Heights, reports Life Site News.

Speaking before those gathered, the bishop praised the new building and admitted that he "fully felt the divine presence" immediately upon arriving at the Islamic center's grounds. Weisenburger emphasized that he felt nowhere "greater honor, fraternity, and kindness" than in that place.

The Catholic bishop actually equated Islamic and Christian places of worship. He declared absolutely all churches, mosques, and synagogues to be "sacred," calling them "places where God reaches out and touches with his finger."

Furthermore, Weisenburger expressed hope that the new mosque and Islamic center would help bring all of humanity to "a deeper communion with our ‘one god'."

As the UOJ reported, a Catholic bishop in the USA received a "blessing" from a rabbi in a synagogue.
